NASA Lands Car-Size Rover Beside Martian Mountain

YouTube Description:

NASA's most advanced Mars rover Curiosity has landed on the Red Planet. The one-ton rover, hanging by ropes from a rocket backpack, touched down onto Mars Sunday to end a 36-week flight and begin a two-year investigation.The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) spacecraft that carried Curiosity succeeded in every step of the most complex landing ever attempted on Mars, including the final severing of the bridle cords and flyaway maneuver of the rocket backpack.

I know the rover has the equipment to perform intercision, but they are still not sure if they can find any little Martian kids. >> ^hpqp:

I've just read the most excellent His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman, so every time they say "Dust" it takes on a whole different meaning in my mind.

If I were one of the scientist sitting there at my console, two things would have happened.

#1 - I would have let out a "YAY..YAY...MOTHERFU%#$R...WE DID IT!!!"
#2 - I so would have taken the opportunity (pun intended) to make out with the hot babes they had there.
